Druid Ireland’s The New Electric Ballroom, Enda Walsh’s “most intoxicating and original piece of writing.” (Charles Isherwood, The New York Times) is a companion piece to The Walworth Farce, which made its American Premier...e at St. Ann’s Warehouse in April 2008. One of Ireland’s freshest new voices, Enda has been proclaimed “that explosively brilliant of modern Irish stage poets” (The Scotsman) who unleashes the power of storytelling and¬ everyday mythologizing. The story unfolds in a small fishing town on the west coast of Ireland, where, night after night, two aging sisters re-enact a night in the early ‘60s with a seductive rock singer at the New Electric Ballroom. On this particular night, enter Patsy, the fish monger…
“Mr. Walsh has a breathtaking lyrical gift”
